The WPJA contest judges presented Wellington Fugisse, a Brazil wedding photographer, with this Master Piece Award as recognition for top wedding photojournalism in the industry.

The leading documentary wedding photographers in the world enter their best photos to the Wedding Photojournalist Association's photography competitions. They want their wedding reportage photographs to be evaluated and selected by some of the most notable and respected working picture editors and photojournalists in the news industry (these are not wedding photographers or other WPJA members judging their work). Winning these competitions is a true accomplishment for a wedding photographer.

2015 Q4 Photography Contest Judges

Judges

  • A different take. Alcohol might have gotten this started, but this image is the only one in my top 10 with no alcohol showing.
  • Pushed into the pool, we presume, to join the wet ranks of an all male swim, this bride can only laugh. What else should she do? Somehow she still remains as beautiful here as we imagine she was when dry.
  • The drenched bride's expression leaves the viewer wondering what led up to this moment. A boisterous celebration indeed.
